Connecting to the Internet on Campus
The network “CalVisitor” provides a basic level of Wi-Fi access for those not affiliated with UC Berkeley or with no CalNet ID.
If you have previously configured your wireless device to connect to "eduroam" at your home institution, your device may automatically connect to the eduroam network at UC Berkeley, using your home institution credentials.
Coronavirus Policies and Recommendations for Visiting UC Berkeley
Please review the following campus access information related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Suggestions for Your Free Time on Campus
Have some downtime between activities and appointments? Here are a few ideas of where to go.
Explore campus and Berkeley (please double check current hours and admission prices on their websites):
Visit Sather Tower, also known as the Campanile, located right next to the Physics Department. Visiting hours Monday-Friday: 10:00am-3:45pm. General admission is $5, cash only. Unfortunately, the Campanile is not wheelchair-accessible.
UC Botanical Garden at Berkeley is open daily from 9:00am-5:00pm (no entry after 4:30 pm). Admission for non-UCB students is $18.
UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA). Galleries open 11:00am-7:00pm. Admission for non-UCB students is $18. Advance purchase required.
Get some work done or refresh:
There are 25 libraries throughout campus! Check out some of the libraries if you have a chance, like the beautiful Morrison Library reading room, located in Doe Memorial Library. You are also welcome to use the open study-space on the third floor of Physics North (351) that used to be a Physics-Astronomy Library.
Coffee spots near Physics include Yali’s Café in Sutardja Dai Hall, the Coffee Lab at Hildebrand Hall, Free Speech Cafe next to Moffit library, and Café Strada at Bancroft and College Ave.
When Physics North 375 is not in use for specific events during Open House, you are welcome to use the space. Please do not leave any personal items unattended.
Gender-Inclusive Restrooms on Campus
UC Berkeley is engaged in an ongoing process to provide restroom facilities that serve the needs of all members of the campus, helping to create an overall inclusive campus environment for all members of our community. While gender-inclusive restrooms are now part of campus standards for restrooms and included in any new campus buildings, converting existing multi-stall restroomstakes additional resources and so conversions will take place over time.
White triangles within blue circles indicate gender-inclusive facilities.
White triangles with ADA symbols indicate accessible gender-inclusive facilities.
Baby icons indicate facilities with changing tables in both men's and women's bathrooms.
Red dots indicate projects to convert existing facilities to gender-inclusive ones that are in progress.
